If you’re voting strategically ABC, make sure that the Liberals actually have the strongest contender in your riding based on the polls.
There are a lot of NDP / Conservative battleground ridings that the Liberals will never pick up.

This!! don't just blindly vote Lib, some riding lib doesn't stand a chance.
Just gonna drop this here
I don’t trust most of these websites to give an objective answer for most people’s ridings. Better to spend a bit more time and look at the poll data and riding’s history yourself.
While I agree with you, it's tough to get most people to click beyond a headline or open a statistics database for a bunch of easily disprovable commonly held beliefs (aka "common sense"); even if it's to just start thinking about this stuff (and hopefully eventually apply and cross-check), I still view tools like these as a boon.
This right here

I'll be strategically voting liberal this time because of the MAGA traitor PP. He would sell Canada in a heartbeat to Trump's regime.
Once Milhouse is dealt with I will not be voting liberal ever again. Not that my vote matters really. My riding is 100% liberal.
I really don't give a shit how unpopular Jagmeet is. I am a socialist. I don't like the liberals. They're centrists. I will vote for the centrist to keep fascism at bay.
Centrists are fascist enablers though. But I get how you feel.
Democracy is fascism enablement in general sadly.
If you're in a battleground, like some of Alberta's municipalities this year, make it count.
I guarantee that when the next election rolls around, you'll once again be voting liberal to keep fascism at bay.
Just as the system intends. We need electoral reform as part of the solution out of this cycle. Our politics often mirror some of the USA (2 party system, right vs left, candidates spend most of their time bad mouthing each other, no follow through on election promises) , given their current state, we should be doing everything we can to distance ourselves and our systems from theirs.
Thank you for voting strategically. It would be great to see people wake the fuck up and see the NDP become the official opposition. The conservatives should be banished to the basement of parliament

I’m feeling conflicted this year. I’ve been an NDP voter since as long as I was old enough to vote. This year I’m leaning Liberal.
My riding is polling strong red so while it doesn’t make a statistical difference I want to show the NDP that I’m not confident in their leadership or partisanship. I love their policies but it’s time for Jagmeet and similar ineffective MPs to make way for stronger leaders.
I voted for NDP. My province voted for Conservative, so we are getting Dougie Ford in ON, again. :/
There might be a ghost of a chance that the Liberals win in my riding so I'm going to go for them.
That's pretty much where I'm at as well. My riding is currently blue, and every piece of mass-mail propaganda I've gotten from the current MP has used a lot of words to say an awful lot of nothing.
I've generally voted NDP, but they need to make some leadership changes. I don't believe that the current NDP leadership would be effective in handling the overgrown toddler running the show in the US, and PP would hand us to him on a silver platter. I don't actively dislike Carney so far, so at least that's something.
Yeah, the NDP kind of need to get crushed in this election so we can clear out the dead wood. We need a reborn and revitalized NDP to meet the current moment.
"I'm voting Liberal because the NDP have become too much like the Liberals"
This is why no one respects the left, you realize.
I absolutely disagree with that statement.
The Liberals are going to bring more of the same. What we need is a strong coalition with both the Liberals and NDP to push the Liberals to work for the little guy for once.
I'm tired of having a party that does nothing but work for corporations, who can't think outside the box and do nothing for the working class.

I agree liberals dont make tha same mistake as your american equivalents. Make sure your candidates running actually gives people reasons to vote for your candidate.
Dont think you can just goose step to the party line of no change for the working class. Dont try to deny and support a genocide. Dont think the other candidate sucking is sufficient for you to brow beat people to vote for your candidate.
If there's a group asking for a change that you might not technically agree with but doesnt harm people do it anyways
It's so obvious that Canada and the liberal party isn't supportive of Israel doing what they're doing.... Wtf are you talking about?
Don't be that left leaning douche bag that thinks that unless everything is done perfectly to a tee with what YOU want to see, that it isn't worth voting for. The NDP has great ideas and we owe them for pushing the liberals to get dental care and pharma care done ... But Jesus Christ the foreign interference is strong with you
Canada and the liberal party isn't supportive of Israel doing what they're doing.... Wtf are you talking about?
Justin Trudeau: "I am a zionist" and also "Zionism isn't a bad word." then proceeds to send money and equipment to Israel.
Zionism is just the basic fact that the Jewish people deserve to have a state to live in. Zionism has been thrown around as a buzzword forever and it's not wrong to say that Jews deserve to have a state to represent them. Now currently is what Israel doing ok? Fuck no. But you're not gonna fucking sit in here and conflate this bullshit as if the liberals are responsible for Israel doing what it's doing. They aren't.
Zionism[a] is an ethnocultural nationalist[b] movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century that aimed to establish a national home for the Jewish people, pursued through the colonization of Palestine,[2] a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism,[3] with central importance in Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible.[4]
In summary, it's a movement that aims at committing genocide in order to obtain a ethno-cultural state where Judaism and Jews are the only accepted and dominant people.
Yes, zionism is bad.
I know it's because you feel very passionate about this issue, but you really need to change that attitude. We're all fiends here.
Hey, I know i am definitely a fiend, but do you really think we all are?
lol yes being an asshole definitely is going to win you votes. lol you idiots never learn jesus.
imagine thinking that politicians should serve their constituents interests in order to ensure people are willing to vote for them is 'foreign interference'. lolol
You're talking about a foreign issue that is not Canada's number one pressing issue at the moment. Conflating it with the liberals who have the best chance at defeating the conservatives who will sell out our country, to the USA, who is also currently aiding the genocide and horror happening in Gaza and Israel right now...
Like how well did it turn out for the NoT VoTinG KaMalA crowd because they thought she would be terrible for Palestine? Don't be dumb.
I know. I know Americans who were like “I’m not voting for Kamala because of Genocide Joe in fact I won’t vote at all” and then Trunp 2.0 gets in. How’s that going for you Amerikkka???
They're already in here steering the conversation completely in a different direction
You know we have more than 2 parties in Canada right? And that we have a Westminster parliamentary system, meaning we can have a minority government. Unlike in the U.S.
So we actually have the option to vote for a 3rd or even 4th party if we want and still end up with the conservatives not being in complete power. In fact, I believe the best outcome for Canada would be a minority Liberal government with the NDP as the opposition.
If we don't vote Liberal, it's not a total loss. So you can calm down. What happened in the U.S. won't happen here.

I'm sorry but the liberals are pretty clear that healthcare should be public....and free at use.
Honestly, living in Germany now, allowing private care to harvest market forces is not too bad of an idea and might be more effective at keeping the doctors in Canada.
You can enrol in private care once your income exceeds a certain threshold (but you still pay a certain amount for the public care). You can opt for, for example, a more premium tooth filling if you wish (And yes, dental care is included in Germany’s healthcare). This allows the doctors to charge more from the rich.
If for no other reasons at all I think Canadians should vote Liberal for these two stances from their 2021 platform:
- 0 or lower emissions by 2050
I think climate change is a much more immediate concern than most people realize, there simply is no excuse to throw the future away over lesser social concerns.
- Taxing people who make more than 49k a Minimum non-deductible 15%, as a method of preventing the use of loopholes to pay 0% effective rates by the wealthiest of Canadians.
I think the 49k Canadian Dollars is a bit low for the bar to be, but if it taxes the rich then everyone below the 1% gains more from this policy than they lose.
But I'm not Canadian. Ya'll do you.
